I agree with the call to arms, and the disatisfaction with the industry. I take umbrage that you mean to do war with me when I want to work with you.
I'm an American male cartoonist. I read the works of both male and female cartoonists from around the world, but many of which are made in the U.S. by women for everybody.
Almost all the comics I read are webcomics. Some of them even make money for their creators. Most don't. What "we" need to do is keep spotlighting those creators that are actually good. Turn the industry upsidedown by uplifting the indy cartoonist. Start new publishing houses with better editorial philosophies. But more important than all that, "we" need to get more people reading comics.
The material is out there, waiting to be read. It's wide and varied and exciting, and it comes from men, women and children from any country, you just have to find it.
I post a good one to my LJ every time I find it. That's the best way to start.
